linked from here (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=112789). I've bolded a few posts for viewers from that thread.
perhaps more of an interregional incident than an international incident.
I'm currently censoring all names except those I'm sure will cause no harm. I am censoring nothing else, although my script may have missed a few posts due to the speed of the HQ (noted in the log), and become confused and included other posts more than once. (I'm currently cleaning that up).
I'll post more later. Enjoy.

i'm only sure about the dutch time, and that's a few minutes past 9 am..Oct 27 2003, 02:13 AM
If there are any nations left fromt eh south pacific force, I am asking you to go home.

i think it would be better if everyone left, by staying, the only thing you'll accomplish is getting thrown out..Oct 27 2003, 02:17 AM
I was born here several hours ago.Oct 27 2003, 02:18 AM
What the?? Why did Corinthe leave?Oct 27 2003, 02:18 AM
if you haven't talked against francos, don't worry, you can stay, you'll probably won't get kicked out..Oct 27 2003, 02:18 AM
the mods told us we all had to leave.....again.Oct 27 2003, 02:20 AM
I thought the mods wanted rid of Francos...this isn't helping. I ain't leaving.Oct 27 2003, 02:21 AM
The mods have asked to consider whether or not this invasion is legal. No doubt they will keep us hanging for several weeks before ruling once again in Francos favour. They have consistently sided with Francos despite his immense unpopularity. They have also ignored the fact that his 140 endorsements do not reflect popular support, but rather fear of ejection by the endorsers.Oct 27 2003, 02:21 AM
leave, it's better, if you stay, you'll get kicked out.
and we might get another shot at this, although i have very little faith in that..Oct 27 2003, 02:21 AM
So... what's new folks?Oct 27 2003, 02:23 AM
Bah, then let them kick me out. I don't like to lose.Oct 27 2003, 02:24 AM
nothing much. tried to kick out francos. we mangaed it just about. mods came in and said no.Oct 27 2003, 02:25 AM
Because the mods are dumb and don't care about the people's wants.Oct 27 2003, 02:25 AM
Oh crap...
I kinda sorta posted something on the Pacific forum disagreaing with his "Code".Oct 27 2003, 02:26 AM
Fire! Fire!
It is my sad duty to report that a great fire at the United Nations Headquarters wiped out entire filing cabinets worth of UN Delegate lists last night, throwing entire regions into Delegacy chaos. Regions such as The Pacific, which were formerly quiet, peaceful havens of iron tyranny, are now in a state of Delegate-free uproar.
Actually, it may have been a system crash. The fire is unconfirmed. But what is certain is that the United Nations bureaucrats are even now scurrying back into action to update their vital Regional Delegacy records. Very shortly, in each region, the nation with the most endorsements will again be officially appointed its Delegate.
The UN wishes to convey its apologies for the inconvenience, and stress that no nation has lost any endorsements. In the meantime, those nations frightened by this new Delegate-free world order, particularly those in the Pacific, are encouraged to inhale deeply and smell the liberty. Or is it smoke? It's hard to tell.

no it's more like they care about the rules. *s'why they're there* but what we did was indeed an invasion.Oct 27 2003, 02:27 AM

If Franco is so unpopular, why do the mods side with him and how come he has so many endorsements? Huh?

Ahem, we did not break the rules. Not one bit. Look in the FAQ section of NationStates, and I quote:
"Yes. The practice of "region crashing," where a group of nations all move to a region with the aim of seizing the UN Delegate position, is part of the game. Certain groups within NationStates are particularly adroit at this, and can attack very quickly."
So the mods were not playing by the rules by godmodding and preventing a region invasion.Oct 27 2003, 02:33 AM

How very true.Oct 27 2003, 02:37 AM
Whatever it was, the mods had no right to force Corinthe to leave. We were doing a perfectly legal invasion and the mods stopped it, so they broke the rules, so to speak. It's cheap, that's what it is.Oct 27 2003, 02:38 AM
ANARCHY!
We must restore order!

What happened?Oct 27 2003, 02:45 AM
E : "If Franco is so unpopular, why do the mods side with him and how come he has so many endorsements? Huh?"
Either you just don't get it, or you're a lackey. Francos sends telegrams to all UN members containing veiled threats, and ejects anyone who doesn't endorse him. His 140 endorsements are the result of fear, not support. The fact that Corinthe was on the point of taking the delegacy from him shows that this was, in fact, a popular invasion.
Oct 27 2003, 02:47 AM
Hmm, sucks ay? Well, if the mods keep helping Francos, why do we bother trying? If the mods are on Francos' side, they're no better than Francos.Oct 27 2003, 02:49 AM
Why do they wait so long till we have so much hope and then choose a side. Meh.Oct 27 2003, 02:51 AM

I am sorry this has been a frustrating experience for some. The mods had to make a tough call in a difficult situation, and they made a sensible decision: to prevent anyone taking advantage of accidental circumstances. I don't criticise any of them for this decision, and I don't think anyone else seriously can, either. It's a judgement call.
But I look at this as one of those little interesting oddities that life occasionally throws up. They are part of the real world, and so can be part of the game, too. So the temporary moderator-imposed ban invasion has been lifted.
I am not going to deliberately duplicate these circumstances, because they should never have arisen in the first place. This wasn't planned! It was a bizarre accident. By rights the window of opportunity should never have been open. But it was. Then it wasn't. Now it is again. It closes in about an hour.
Oct 27 2003, 03:14 AM
Right now people are scrambling to endorse Francos.Oct 27 2003, 03:15 AM

Excerpts from a great musical:
A British tar is a soaring soul,
As free as a mountain bird,
His energetic fist should be ready to resist
A dictatorial word.
His nose should pant and his lip should curl,
His cheeks should flame and his brow should furl,
His bosom should heave and his heart should glow,
And his fist be ever ready for a knock-down blow.
His eyes should flash with an inborn fire,
His brow with scorn be wrung;
He never should bow down to a domineering frown,
Or the tang of a tyrant tongue.

0003: Assisting those seeking more than 15 endorsements.
0004: Belonging to a subversive organization.

Francos is the "just" choice. If you really hate him, you're going to vote against him, but if you win this battle you will be losing the war- because random acts of cosmic noise will become what determines a region, not logic and rules.Oct 27 2003, 03:58 AM

I thought the mods wanted rid of Francos...this isn't helping. I ain't leaving.Oct 27 2003, 02:21 AM
The mods have asked to consider whether or not this invasion is legal. No doubt they will keep us hanging for several weeks before ruling once again in Francos favour. They have consistently sided with Francos despite his immense unpopularity. They have also ignored the fact that his 140 endorsements do not reflect popular support, but rather fear of ejection by the endorsers.Oct 27 2003, 02:21 AM
leave, it's better, if you stay, you'll get kicked out.

I kinda sorta posted something on the Pacific forum disagreaing with his "Code".Oct 27 2003, 02:26 AM
Fire! Fire!
It is my sad duty to report that a great fire at the United Nations Headquarters wiped out entire filing cabinets worth of UN Delegate lists last night, throwing entire regions into Delegacy chaos. Regions such as The Pacific, which were formerly quiet, peaceful havens of iron tyranny, are now in a state of Delegate-free uproar.
Actually, it may have been a system crash. The fire is unconfirmed. But what is certain is that the United Nations bureaucrats are even now scurrying back into action to update their vital Regional Delegacy records. Very shortly, in each region, the nation with the most endorsements will again be officially appointed its Delegate.
The UN wishes to convey its apologies for the inconvenience, and stress that no nation has lost any endorsements. In the meantime, those nations frightened by this new Delegate-free world order, particularly those in the Pacific, are encouraged to inhale deeply and smell the liberty. Or is it smoke? It's hard to tell.

Ahem, we did not break the rules. Not one bit. Look in the FAQ section of NationStates, and I quote:
"Yes. The practice of "region crashing," where a group of nations all move to a region with the aim of seizing the UN Delegate position, is part of the game. Certain groups within NationStates are particularly adroit at this, and can attack very quickly."
So the mods were not playing by the rules by godmodding and preventing a region invasion.Oct 27 2003, 02:33 AM

E : "If Franco is so unpopular, why do the mods side with him and how come he has so many endorsements? Huh?"
Either you just don't get it, or you're a lackey. Francos sends telegrams to all UN members containing veiled threats, and ejects anyone who doesn't endorse him. His 140 endorsements are the result of fear, not support. The fact that Corinthe was on the point of taking the delegacy from him shows that this was, in fact, a popular invasion.
Oct 27 2003, 02:47 AM
Hmm, sucks ay? Well, if the mods keep helping Francos, why do we bother trying? If the mods are on Francos' side, they're no better than Francos.Oct 27 2003, 02:49 AM

We were going to get rid of Francos, but the mods intervened and stopped us for some illegal reason. So we now await ejection.Oct 27 2003, 03:02 AM
The forums say that if Corinthe comes back, she still has a shot... *shrug*Oct 27 2003, 03:02 AM
I meant, reguarding violet's engimatic responce.Oct 27 2003, 03:03 AM
Hey, I'm willing to stick it out.Oct 27 2003, 03:03 AM
Theres nothing more K and our Colony R can do now. Unfortunatly we have made a Grave mistake by entering both of our Nations into the UN without reading about the consequences, and have therefore been banned. I am appealing the decision, but it could take days, maybe even weeks, so i am returning us both to our Homeland.Oct 27 2003, 03:04 AM
Is there a backup candidate, in case Corinthe doesn't come back?Oct 27 2003, 03:05 AM
Endorse me, I was delegate of the region --censored-- for one whole day, and delegate of my own region for 3 weeks.Oct 27 2003, 03:05 AM
Funny.Oct 27 2003, 03:07 AM
It's hard to rule over people that you don't share a belief system with.Oct 27 2003, 03:08 AM
We need to get the revolution started again. We need to redrill our troops. We can't give up.Oct 27 2003, 03:08 AM
if i wasn't someone's puppet, I would endorse corintheOct 27 2003, 03:09 AM
125 endorsements left. I was told to go out and stay out! [violet] speaks in riddles, and the news doesn't say a thing about the real situation.Oct 27 2003, 03:10 AM
It seems to me that if you stay and get enough endorsements, you'll be in with the update... one can hope, anyway.Oct 27 2003, 03:10 AM

I am sorry this has been a frustrating experience for some. The mods had to make a tough call in a difficult situation, and they made a sensible decision: to prevent anyone taking advantage of accidental circumstances. I don't criticise any of them for this decision, and I don't think anyone else seriously can, either. It's a judgement call.
But I look at this as one of those little interesting oddities that life occasionally throws up. They are part of the real world, and so can be part of the game, too. So the temporary moderator-imposed ban invasion has been lifted.
I am not going to deliberately duplicate these circumstances, because they should never have arisen in the first place. This wasn't planned! It was a bizarre accident. By rights the window of opportunity should never have been open. But it was. Then it wasn't. Now it is again. It closes in about an hour.
Oct 27 2003, 03:14 AM
Right now people are scrambling to endorse Francos.Oct 27 2003, 03:15 AM

Excerpts from a great musical:
A British tar is a soaring soul,
As free as a mountain bird,
His energetic fist should be ready to resist
A dictatorial word.
His nose should pant and his lip should curl,
His cheeks should flame and his brow should furl,
His bosom should heave and his heart should glow,
And his fist be ever ready for a knock-down blow.
His eyes should flash with an inborn fire,
His brow with scorn be wrung;
He never should bow down to a domineering frown,
Or the tang of a tyrant tongue.
-----------
Unendorse the dictator Francos!

I just think it isn't good for a nation to lose a region due to a glitch. There are rules to the game, and by sheer luck they were nullified for a day.
Francos is the "just" choice. If you really hate him, you're going to vote against him, but if you win this battle you will be losing the war- because random acts of cosmic noise will become what determines a region, not logic and rules.Oct 27 2003, 03:58 AM
